topical herbs for Morton's neuroma

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

I'm treating a patient with a Morton's neuroma

on the plantar aspect of his foot.

 

In addition to needle moxa and e-stim, I'm wondering

if an herbal plaster, tincture or soak would benefit him as well.

 

I'm thinking of phlegm dispersing, blood and qi

invigorating herbs.

 

Or maybe even castor oil compress.

 

Does anyone have experience or thoughts if topical

herbs would be of benefit?

 

Thanks so much,

Jean D, LAc
